Casio F-91W – The World's Best & Cheapest Value Watch

Casio Black Classic Casio F-91W - The Legendary Watch Everyone Should Own

If you ask around and show the legendary Casio F-91W, most likely people would be able to recognize this watch.

The Casio F-91W is one of the best, cheapest, and the most popular watches in the world. You can buy many other cheap watches these days, but a watch with the same high quality as the Casio F-91W will be hard to find.

Casio started producing the F91W in 1989, and it’s still in production to this day. Casio produces 3 million units per year. The Classic Casio F-91W has survived and stood the test of time and remains the most popular watch in the world.

There are several factors that made the Casio F-91W become so popular: it is durable, unique, simple, functional, looks good, and feels comfortable to wear.

The learning curve to get acquainted with the Casio F-91W is not steep. It is very easy to learn and looks remarkably good on everyone, whether you are young, old, male, female, or kids.

The Casio F-91W is a minimalist watch that offers a simple LCD screen, three buttons or pushers, a stopwatch, a calendar and a battery life that can last somewhere between 7 to 10 years.

What I don’t understand is how Casio can still make and offer this timeless watch so cheap without compromising quality and features.

In Canada, you can grab the Casio F-91W for around $20 CAD. In the USA, it’s a mere $10. That’s a shocking value price given the fact that these days a fast-food meal costs around the same amount.

At this point, the time has come for me to write a book to reach my global readers and this is what I have in mind working on “Save Now.” This book will be packed with simple and doable tips to save money that can be applied across the globe. Here is a short post I wrote for the A Dawn Books site describing more about “Save Now.”

Acer Aspire Timeline 13.3 Laptop Review

Acer Aspire Timeline Review

First Published Date : October 31, 2010 ADawnJournal.com

I bought my new Acer Aspire 13.3 inch laptop about a month ago. This is my second product in the Acer series. My first Acer Netbook is still working fine and never had any problems. Today, I am going to do a short review on the Acer Timeline 13.3 inch Ultra-portable notebook.

Specifications

– Intel Core i5 – 430M processor 2.26 GHz 3MB L3 cache
– 500 GB Hard drive
– 4 GB DDR3 memory
– 13.3 inch True Cinematic View Acer CineCrystal LED Back-lit 18:9 HD Display
– ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 graphics card with 512MB dedicated memory, Up to 
  2138 MB HyperMemory
– 6-cell Li-ion battery Up to 8 hrs battery life
– Dolby Home Theater Virtual SurroundSound
– Ultralight, Ultra-portable

Cons

– Does not have an optical drive
– Bilingual keyboard can cause trouble. Sometimes I have difficulty using inverted come
  and some other characters because I think French characters keep popping up. There
  should be a separate French model.
– Given the fact that this is a high-performance laptop, its 1.3-MP cam just does not
  integrate well into it. There is room for improvement in future models.

My Take

Most likely, you will not find the features and performance that this Acer 13.3 inch Timeline provides at a price like this anywhere else. The built materials look excellent, not cheap like Dell or Toshiba. This is an excellent buy and I am happy that I decided to buy this over anything else. If other manufactures do not come up with great products at cheaper prices like Acer, they will have difficulty competing with Acer in the future.

Make Money Online - Roadmap of A Dot Com Mogul

Make Money Online – A Dawn Journal Book Review

First Published Date : August 28, 2010 ADawnJournal.com

Prelude

I received a signed copy of this book in the mail from John Chow sometime in May. However, it took me a while to finish reading it due to living a part-time dot com lifestyle on the weekend only along with a full-time 9-5 lifestyle. Today, I am writing this review on my new Acer 13.3 Aspire Timeline laptop in a Tim Horton at Danforth Ave. and Birchmount Rd. in Toronto, Canada.

What Is This Book About?

This is John Chow’s first book to give readers his lifetime insight on how to make money online in simple, plain English. This book is somewhat targeted to those who are novices in the world of online money making and entrepreneurship.

Dad’s Review of Make Money Online in Two Sentences

My dad, who is close to 80, is just learning how to use the Internet and opened his first email account last week. He finished reading Make Money Online within days of receiving it and gave me his super-short review in two sentences:

·   John talks very honest and candidly without holding anything back in this book.

·   Content is very important.

Do you think anyone else can do a better review than this?

Critical Characteristic You Need to Succeed: Passion

In the first 20 pages, John talks about how he got into blogging, the dot com crash of 2001, how Google rescued Internet entrepreneurship, and so on. Then, he talks about three critical elements you should have even before you start your online venture. These three essential elements are: Being passionate on your subject, having your own domain name, and keep updating often. Passion is the most important element which comes before anything else. The reason is, regardless of how serious you are on everything else, if you are not in love with your subject, you will give up one day.

Essential Blogging Tips

John provides ten essential blogging tips in chapter four. If you are willing to achieve online success, you should embrace and follow these time-tested tips vigorously. I am going to mention here the first five tips only:

   Be Personal

·   Write for readers, not for the search engines

·   Know your readers

·   Never rush your posts
·   Go with the flow

Content Is King

One full chapter is dedicated to content. In this chapter, you will find what is considered quality content and what is not. If you are reading this book review at this very moment, you are reading it because of its content, not for anything else. The whole world is looking for information online, i.e. content, and this hunger for content will only grow in the future. Follow John’s tips on content and you will be able to turn your no-traffic website into a high-traffic website, no doubt.

Some Important Highlights from Make Money Online

Here are some important highlights I must mention before giving you my conclusion:
– Blog on something you are passionate about. If you just blog for money (not being passionate on the subject), you will fail.
– Never stop learning. Be willing to take risks and try new things.
– Do not wait for things to happen someday. You need to have goals and a plan of action with timelines to realize your goals. Dreamers will always keep dreaming and will never realize their dreams because they do not have any solid action plans with a timeline.
– You need to be different to be successful. Readers have options to read other content on the same subject. Why would they read your content if you are not different and unique?
– Branding is very important. Strong branding already gives you a boost to become different, now concentrate on generating unique content.

What I Don’t Like

Considering that Make Money Online a book to help novice Internet entrepreneurs to make money online, its simple, easy-to-follow teachings and techniques flow throughout the book smoothly – except in chapter five – WordPress basics and chapter six – WordPress techniques and tools, where I got the feeling that it’s getting a little techi for regular readers and you need to have technical literacy to comprehend some of the stuff discussed.

What I Like

It’s simple and plain language and John’s candid-conversation-style writing. Readers will have this feeling (just after reading first few pages and as my dad mentioned) that everything that said here is coming from a person of authority on online money making and he is not withholding any information. His sole purpose of this book is to shed some light on the world of online money making and help those who are willing to give it a try.

My Take

If you are a regular A Dawn Journal reader, you know that I go by three simple and straightforward ratings for my book review: A Must Read, Worth Reading, and Do Not Read. For Make Money Online, I am assigning “A Must Read.” Even if you are not looking into Internet Entrepreneurship, you should still read this book as it takes you inside the mind of a great entrepreneur who showed us how to succeed with determination, courage, and hard work in the face of severe uncertainty. It will inspire you in your daily living.

Three Simple Reasons Why I Am Not Buying An Apple iPad Now

Should You Buy Apple iPad Tablet Right Now?

First Published: January 27, 2010 ADawnJournal.com

Apple released its much-hyped, highly anticipated, tablet computer iPad today. Reactions have been mixed. There are six models available in the U.S. starting at US$499. iPad is not available in Canada yet. Expect to see them in Canada in 60 days (Wi-Fi models) to 90 days (3G models).

Now that the wait is over, you may be contemplating the question: “should I buy an iPad?”

My perspective is as follows:

Priced at $499, I don’t think the iPad is that expensive. However, I have decided not to buy one, and here are three simple reasons  why:

·   First generation tech-gadgets are always over-priced and will always have flaws. Manufacturers improve these flaws based on consumers’ feedback on the second generation model. Prices always become more affordable.  This is what happened with the iPhone.

·   Apple is not the only player in the market.  In a few months you will see other competitors release similar prototype products. You will have better options then at much lesser prices. Waiting pays.

·   It makes me feel good to kill my instant-gratification urge. The decision of not buying an iPad leaves $499 in my pocket. What’s else can be better than this?

Before you jump into buying an iPad, I suggest you wait a few days and think your decision over. Bookmark this article and read it again after a day or two. Who knows, it may well save you $500 instantly.
